Tufts Showbiz Track Stops at YouTube

While junior Grant Beighley's (A '09) showbiz success isn't quite tantamount to that of Miss Jess or our Indian Hero, the Tufts student has cemented the reality dream for the typical MCMS minor: YouTube (which already runs in the genes of Tufts students, apparently: 1; 2; 3).

Beighley's turned his slave-driving summer internship at Yahoo!'s The9 (think CosmoGIRL! meets Fox News) into his close-up, starring in the "Intern Diaries."

The three-part, uh, series, is kitschy, but kind of cute.  Except when the kid starts talking about his t-shirt collection.  Because, seriously, who has hundreds of t-shirts?  And who the hell is proud of that?  Suppose it's an English major thing.

Anyway, it's not the type of "cure AIDS every Friday morning for four hours in between writing a paper about social activism and having a sandwich" involvement that Tufts always touts, but that's pretty refreshing.  And Beighley's pretty cute.
